Opheliac Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

I'm your Opheliac, I've been so disillusioned 

I know you'd take me back but still I feign confusion 

I couldn't be your friend, my world was too unstable 

You might have seen the end but you were never able 

To keep me breathing as the water rises up again before I slip away 

You know the games I play and the words I say 

When I want my own way 

You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell 

And I say I can't stay 

You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me 

When everything and everyone becomes my enemy 

And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you 

It's not the way I want to be, I only hope that in the end you will see 

It's the Opheliac in me, it's the Opheliac in me 

I'm your Opheliac, my stockings prove my virtues 

I'm open to attack but I don't want to hurt you 

Whether I swim or sink that's no concern of yours now 

How could you possibly think, you had the power to know how 

To keep me breathing as the water rises up again before I slip away 

You know the games I play and the words I say 

When I want my own way 

You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell 

And I say I can't stay 

You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me 

When everything and everyone becomes my enemy 

And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you 

It's not the way I want to be, I only hope that in the end you will see 

It's the Opheliac in me, it's the Opheliac in me 

Studies show, intelligent girls are more depressed 

'Cause they know what the world is really like, don't think for a beat 

It makes it better when you sit her down and tell her 

Everything gonna be all right, she knows in society 

She either is a devil or an angel with no in between 

She speaks in the third person so she can forget that she's me 

Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt thou the sun doth move 

Doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt 

Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt thou the sun doth move 

Doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt 

Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt thou the sun doth move 

Doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt, I love 

You know the games I play and the words I say 

When I want my own way 

You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell 

And I say I can't stay 

You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me 

When everything and everyone becomes my enemy 

And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you 

It's not the way I want to be, I only hope that in the end you will see 

But never doubt 

You know the games I play and the words I say 

When I want my own way 

You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell 

And I say I can't stay 

You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me 

When everything and everyone becomes my enemy 

And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you 

It's not the way I want to be, I only hope that in the end you will see
